PRIVACY POLICY

REVISED 8/21/2015 EFFECTIVE 10/1/2015

The staff and administration at buddyup recognize that your privacy is very important. We've developed this policy to help ensure that your privacy is protected while using buddyup, including our related social networking site or pages and our mobile applications.

The data and information provided to buddyup.com will primarily be used in the search, selection and evaluation process to arrange and manage activities among members. The individual data provided by a member will be accessible in a limited way to other members through the search function and non-identifiable data (like username, sport preferences, and buddyup group membership) will be available to non-members. No individual identifiable member data (like name, age, and address) will be provided to an outside party unless required by law. Aggregate member data (i.e. we have n members between 25 and 35) may be provided to potential investors, advertisers, or other third parties for business purposes.

Buddyup may use cookies and other tracking technology depending on the method to acces our services and the features offered. Tracking technology is useful for gathering information such as browser type, operating system, and location to track the number of users and understand how visitors use buddyup. When you browse buddyup your personal information is not collected through the use of cookies. However, if you previously provided personal information, cookies may be tied to such information. Aggregate (not individually identifiable) cookie and tracking information may be provided to third parties. Buddyup does not currently respond to do-not-track requests that may be sent from your computer, app, or other device.

The information buddyup collects may be used to improve the content of our we pages, used to customize the content and/or layout of our pages for each individual member, used to notify members about updates to our web site or services, and used by us to contact our members. If you do not want to receive e-mail from us for marketing purposes, please let us know by sending email to us at the address listed on this page and telling us that you do not want to receive e-mail from buddyup.

From time to time, buddyup may make our customer e-mail list available to other reputable organizations whose products or services we think members might find interesting. Again, if you do not want us to share your e-mail address with other companies or organizations, please let us know by sending email to us atcomments@buddyup.com or by clicking the appropriate box on the registration information page.

We reserve the right to make changes to this policy at any time and for any reason. Any changes to this policy will be posted and we will alert you that changes have been made by updating the revised and effective date of this policy.

TERMS OF USE

Before you click on the accept button at the end of this agreement, carefully
read the following Agreement between you and GLOMNET, LLC doing business as "buddyup"
which sets forth terms for the use of the Services and buddyup website (referred
to sometimes as the "Website").

ELIGIBILITY.

A user must be 18 years of age or older to register and use the Website. To
register, a user must be a legal resident of the United States and must be an individual,
not a corporation or other business entity. Membership is void where otherwise
prohibited by law. Your use of buddyup must be in accordance and in a manner
consistent with all applicable state and federal laws. An individual user may only
register for one Membership for any single place of residence. To be a resident,
a user must live in, have the ownership in a residence, rent property, or be a legal
resident in the zip code provided in the registration. Furthemore, a user must
have access to the internet and maintain a correct and operational e-mail address.
(Buddyup is not liable for any costs of a Member maintaining access to the internet
or a valid e-mail address.) Once registered, your use of the Website means that
you have agreed to these term and conditions and thus become a Member of buddyup.
Membership is non-transferable and may not be assigned or used by anyone except
the registered user.

REGISTRATION INFORMATION.

A user agrees to provide true, accurate and complete registration information
and to maintain and update the information as applicable. If any of the information
is untrue, inaccurate, not current, incomplete or incorrect, buddyup has the
right to terminate a Member's use of the Website. The services provided by buddyup
depend on an operative e-mail address. If the e-mail address provided is inoperative
or is repeatedly rejected, buddyup may suspend or even terminate the membership
without notice.

Buddyup provides a valuable service to its members. In order to continue
to provide these services for free or at a minimal cost, buddyup depends on
members to repeatedly use the site to search for buddies as well as to accept and
send invitations for activities. (It also believes that using the site to arrange
activities is easier and more accurate.) For this reason and for the Member's own
convenience and security, users and Members can not include any contact information
in their profiles including: 1. telephone numbers, 2. street addresses, 3. last
names, 4. URL's, or 5. e-mail addresses.

NON-COMMERCIAL USE.

The buddyup services provided through its Website (the "Services") are for
the non-commercial and personal use of its Members and may not be used in connection
with any commercial endeavors. Non-commercial means that you cannot charge other
people to use the Services, nor may you charge them for work you do on their behalf
if it involves use of the Services. You may only use the Services or Website for
the purposes described in the Website. Any use of the Services or Website not intended
by buddyup shall be prohibited, and buddyup shall be entitled to equitable
relief to prevent the same.

ACCEPTABLE USE AND CONTENT.

A Member is solely responsible for the content published, transmitted, or displayed
(hereinafter "a Post" or "Posted") on the Website or in a message to another Member.
Buddyup has the right but not the obligation to delete any Posts including but
not limited to content, messages, invitations, photos, or profiles that violate
this Agreement, might threaten the safety of other members, or which might be offensive
or illegal. Opinions, advice, statements, offers, or other information made available
through the Website or Services by Members are those of their respective authors
and should not necessarily be relied upon. Such authors are solely responsible
for their content.

of this Agreement. Buddyup reserves the right to terminate your access to the
Website or Services for any reason and at any time upon notice to you at the e-mail

reserves the right, but has no obligation, to monitor disputes between and among
Members.
